Our 4 day trek into the wilderness took us over 2 passes of near 12,000 feet in elevation. Our lakeside accomendations created a space for us to to gaze at fish jumping, moon rising and slowing down the pace of life. No, the trip was not all perfect for us. We experienced wipe-out with altitude sickness,exhaustion, rain and ankle injury. However for us a few days to ourself with no agenda except to put 1 foot in front of the other and soak in the beauty of the landscape left us in awe and refreshed. During the 35 mile trip and extimated 5,000 feet of climbing we wondered if this was to be the last trip for us as our aging bodies complained just a bit. However the benefits outway the discomforts and we are already thinking about next year's adventure.
